Lovely.

Shout Out

Last night I went to a show at some friends' house. I was hesitant to go because, well, I wanted stay home and watch something pseudo-science fictiony on TV. In the end, I went. And I'm glad I did. Even though I've seen the band a thousand times (give or take a few hundred) they were great. Let's hear it for Forest World.

Funny Face

Right now I'm watching Funny Face while I study for my photo-history exam. It's totally appropriate, seeing as it is loosely based on Richard Avedon. I love this movie, I really do...Except for one thing. The movie was made in 1957....which means Fred Astaire was 58, and Audrey Hepburn was 28...Not to mention that dear Fred looks every bit his age and then some. Yikes.

ELEVEN

That's the number of engaged couples I know.

Nerd

Last night I had a dream about T.J. Clark.
We were in a museum that had just spent
$3 million on an abstract painting. The painting was purple, yellow, and orange and absolutely hideous, with no theory to even support it. Anyway, we talked about it for a long time. Thanks, T.J. You're the greatest.

Pears

They're almost like apples, but weirder.

Pear is my favorite flavor jelly bean.

When I get home from work tonight,
I will probably make a pear pie
(but with real pears, not with jelly beans).

Whenever it's Real.

A good friend of mine absolutely adores the band Pavement.
I've listened to them in passing and it's always been enjoyable,
but never enough to really sell me on them completely.
The other day I was perusing the Youtubes, and I found a video of them.
Playing Spit on a Stranger.
Until that moment, I had only ever heard the Nickel Creek cover...
don't get me wrong, I love that cover,
but the Pavement original is surprisingly fantastic.



Also, I bought this cd (white flag) yesterday. So Good.

This Summer

People keep asking me what I plan on doing this summer when I go home. Well, here are the top 10 things I plan on doing (but maybe not in order).

1. Going to Dollywood (well ok, that one is first on my list).
2. Taking naps in my backyard.
3. Getting Icees from Weigles.
4. Playing in the Smoky Mountains.
5. Eating at Tomato Head.
6. Taking road trips and short cuts.
7. Playing at the World's Fair Park.
8. Watching the Science Channel with Bobby.
9. Being a fat kid with Bayless.
10. Going on adventures with Jackson.

Not Okay

Sometimes people who come in to work smile at me too much. I mean like, it's way inappropriate.

Yum

Today I bought trail mix from the vending machine, and it gave me two bags. As if that wasn't good enough, I think one of the bags had way more M&Ms than usual. (Although the second bag has a lot of peanuts).



Also, I'll be home in less than a month. Get excited.
